OVERRATED: Natalie Portman

An actor's post-Oscar arc is never disappointing enough to inspire a retraction from the film academy, but Portman seems determined to try. The painful trifecta of "Your Highness," "No Strings Attached" and "Thor" has found Portman acting as natural on-screen as her oaken turns in the "Star Wars" prequels. Outside of "Black Swan's" tortured overachiever, she still hasn't touched her best work in "The Professional" and "Beautiful Girls."
